There are very few specialized automakers anymore. Take BMW for instance. It used to be a brand that made premium sports cars and luxury cars. Now, BMW makes everything from entry-level hatchbacks to gargantuan SUVs. Rolls Royce is a specialized automaker. Rolls Royce does not make everything. However, what if it did make everything? What if Rolls Royce just made weird trend-worthy cars, rather than only the uber-opulent luxo-barges that it currently does? These renders show off a ton of odd Rolls Royce variants that would simply never exist.
For instance, one rendering is basically just a Rolls Royce Cullinan combined with a Jeep Wrangler. So it has the same front bumper and wheel arches as the new Wrangler. So it’s all jacked up and ready for some serious off-roading. It looks wrong. Just wrong. Another is a pickup truck and it’s, well, interesting. While certain odd pickups are charming, this one is not. It just looks vulgar.
One that’s slightly more realistic (I emphasize “slightly) is the Rolls Royce minivan. It’s horrific. Yet many premium brands have now made minivans. Ever seen a Mercedes-Benz R-Class? I don’t care what any R-Class owner says, it’s a minivan. What about a BMW 2 Series Grand Tourer? Yup, despite BMW’s marketing otherwise, it’s a minivan. So it’s not out of the question for premium brands to make minivans. Though, it is out of the question for Rolls to make one. It’s just tragic.
I do kind of like the futuristic flying Rolls Royce Cullinan with rocket jets for wheels. It’s absurd and even if Rolls were to make a flying car it wouldn’t look like a Cullinan but it’s kind of fun and I like it. The Batmobile-looking render is also rather interesting. Actually, that one kind of fits the Rolls Royce ethos, if it were to make a sort of steampunk luxury coupe.

For any of us who grew up with Thundbirds Lady Penelope’s 6 wheeled, pink, glass canopied, machine-gunned Parthenon, these are outdone by a half century old model.
Looking at X2 m35i xdrive specs and something is wrong. It has 306 PS and 450 nm of torque, but its top speed is limited to 241 km/h. How could car with those specs not reach 250 km/h? For example, 535i xdrive gran turismo has 306 PS, less 400 nm of torque, pretty same clearence, MUCH heavier weight and it can reach 250 km/h. Looks like top speed is artificially limited (to 241km/h) and it’s not good. Maybe there is paid saboteur from mercedes benz in company? )
huh? Article is actually about a Rolls-Royce.
I mean X2 m35i could reach speed 250 km/h with specifications that it has, but BMW artificially lowered it, and question is why?
9 km/h?! Seriously?! BMW never allow lesser vehicles to outperform more expensive models, why would X2=535i? 4 cyl=6 cyl? Nein.
Engine displacement doesn’t affect too much nowadays. There is a lot of new cars which have 4 cyl and making more power than old 6 cyl. Specifications matters, it’s impossible that 306 PS and 450 nm couldn’t reach limit 250 km/h for such light car. And X2 m35i has been announced later and should be more advanced than previous generations of cars. This is law of progress. Marketing can’t prevail against progress.
As long as manufacturers/gov’ts./gridlock control top speed, of course they can – when’s the last time you did 250 km/h. in a 4 cyl?
Loving this wild look of Rolls Royce! #FirstImage #MuscularLook
If it’s temporary internet without the commitment you want, take a look at no-contract broadband. Instead of the usual 12-month or 18-month contracts, some broadband packages are available on just a 30-day basis – so you can stop, start, or cancel it whenever you like.
